1  Economy / Economics / How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: April 27, 2024, 04:32:22 PM
l watched my grandmother many years ago put her dollars, gold, and silver ornaments in a plastic box and bury them in a hole in the ground, marking the spot so she wouldn't forget it later. If ornaments or dollars were needed, she would fetch the necessary items from under the ground, unseen by all. The work is a little difficult, but she has been doing it for almost 30 years, and she is now an old woman.
     I was very surprised by her strategy. I liked it, and at the same time, I was curious as to why she put it that way. When I asked her, it would be better to keep the funds in a safe place at home or in the in the bank instead of like this. She then told me that neither the house nor the bank are safe.
 Based on that formula, I saw my mother adopt the exact same approach. The mother also has the idea that the bank or house is not safe for these funds, or that it is not a safe place for the money. Because keeping these funds at home is very risky, you should be wary of thieves, robbers, and even rats. Again, in the case of banks, I have heard about the bankruptcy of big banks. Also, if these things are kept in the bank, you have to pay a separate additional fee, and the tax is different.
    That's why they consider this novel method to be safe and confidential.
Also, they are senior people, so they have no idea about the crypto world, and it may take me a long time to understand them.

Many may be confused by reading my title. Some may find this approach ridiculous. But this is a different technique and experience for me.

 Now I want to ask everyone:
    Have any of you ever been aware of this technique before?
And do you think we can keep our savings and wealth underground by adopting this strategy and considering it the safest?
And that being said, how safe do you think it is? At this time?
2  Other / Off-topic / Aren't we getting hacked by unknown phone calls? on: March 28, 2024, 11:24:01 PM
Yesterday I suddenly received a call from an unknown number. I answered the phone and heard a muffled voice from the other side. I thought the voice could not be heard due to network problem. And meanwhile, the phone got disconnected, and I was busy, so I couldn't call.
     This afternoon the phone rang again from the same number. After receiving one asked, can you speak English? I said yes without thinking, and immediately the person on the other end started talking. His manner of speaking was: I have a job offer for you. You can do this alongside your work. $1500 will be paid per month. I was surprised to hear such amount. What kind of work? He replied that he could do content for their YouTube channel. He also said many other things. (The guy was speaking almost so fast in the local language that I couldn't understand anything at the end.)
   Meanwhile, one of my friends sitting next to me saw my conversation and asked me to stop quickly. I immediately cut it off. Later, I got to know from him that it was a hacking call.
    This is called GSM hacking call, which does not connect the cellular data of the mobile while talking to the caller. Later, the mobile data connected to that network started getting hacked. So hackers try to pass the time by talking like this. And the numbers they use are all closed numbers that connect through the internet What a strange world we live in, where even our phones aren't safe anymore
    One purpose of my saying this is to warn you Maybe many are familiar with this type of hacking, and some are hearing about it for the first time.  Most of us understand these calls, but we talk too much to be a little naughty and have fun. Many people think that there is information in my mobile that can be hacked. But one thing we must always remember is that any personal information provided by others is enough to annoy you. So if you get such a call hang up without saying anything. Hackers are using hacking methods, so be careful yourself and warn others.
3  Other / Beginners & Help / Beyond crypto, we are being scammed by scammers. on: March 11, 2024, 07:53:05 PM
Knowing and understanding everything, this is the first time in my life that I have been cheated by fraudsters. How?
    I was an entrepreneur before entering the crypto sector. But due to various problems, I had to resign from entrepreneurial life. Anyway, a few days ago, I got a call from a popular organization of entrepreneurs. A person claiming to be the manager of the company (a scammer) called me and told me that I had won a lottery from their company and received a grant of 18,500 (local currency). If I give him my bank account or credit card number, he can send me the donation. I was skeptical at first, but later I trusted him for a while as he told me that all my personal information was absolutely correct. Because earlier, I applied for low-interest loans and grants from various organizations to boost my venture in my entrepreneurial life.
    But trusting him for a moment disappointed me. He told me that he emailed me three days ago, but I didn't reply, so he called me himself because today is the last day to receive donations. I should give him the bank account number or credit card number now, or I won't get the donation after the time is up. They were doing everything in such a hurry that I didn't have time to think about anything and got a little greedy. I gave him my credit card number, but after a while, he called me and said there was a problem with my card. And the grant wasn't going through, so if I don't fix it now, I'm going to be in big trouble. . . . .
I was nervous as well as scared. The fear was so great that I forgot that I was being deceived. They were deceivers. He told me that now I have to give my card's OTP number to fix the card. If they don't know the OTP number, they can't do anything, and the problem won't be solved. They menuplate me in such a way that I lose my presence of mind and give them the OTP number of my card. And after payment, he withdraws 18,500 (local currency) from my credit card. This is not the end. The second time the same thing happened to me, I refused to give the OTP number, knowing everything. When I called the guy that time, the number was blocked, and that's when I realized I'd been scammed.
     My brain got activated, and I immediately checked my mail, but I didn't get any mail about this. I was so angry with myself that I could not express it in words. I wouldn't have fallen into such a big scam if I checked my mail earlier without being afraid of his words. Both my greed and my fear have harmed me greatly.
  There are plenty of scammers outside of the crypto world that we are constantly getting scammed by. Such events often happen in earthly life, but still, we all knowingly panic or fall into temptation. I shared what happened to me as a result of my knowingly careless behavior. I want to warn everyone: If you get such a tempting call, do not share your personal information with anyone out of fear or greed. No one should make the same mistake as me.
4  Other / Beginners & Help / Are newbies afraid to comment on threads of highly ranked members? on: January 24, 2024, 02:20:03 PM
I've been confused for several days about something that led to this thread. Many may find my subject ridiculous, fanciful, or incoherent, or I may be critical, but I still need to clear my doubts.

I want to give my opinion on some threads when I read threads of senior, legendary, or ranked , but being a newbie, I am afraid to join discussions with seniors, (legendary) members. The scary thing is (though it may be completely wrong to think), I think, can tell me, how a newbie engages in discussions with seniors, wants to give advice, what I know and how little I know. Also, I have a small number of threads that have no merit (that's my main fear). I even stopped commenting on some posts, thinking I might be wrong in my knowledge, even though I was right.

I know this thread will seem like nonsense to many but I took a lot of courage, and now I want to know if it's just my mistake or if it happens to many freshmen. But I have seen many newbies join the threads of senior, legendary or ranked members, but I hold back for fear of lack of courage. I can't move it at all.

If this is not the case for many in new situations, and if this fear applies to me, how do I overcome it?   

  All your valuable suggestions will be appreciated.
5  Other / Beginners & Help / Help me show the right path regarding cryptography technology. on: December 18, 2023, 03:59:01 AM
I don't have a desktop or laptop. Even I don't have any technical knowledge (although I have learned a bit now thanks to the forum, but this knowledge is by no means enough). I'm still trying to learn the technical stuff.

I read a post a few days ago; it was like, "Surviving in the crypto world is very difficult, especially for those who have an internet and technical background."
I remember who the post was, but the writing stuck in my brain.

Now it seems to me that sustaining myself in this crypto world is a big challenge for me, and I also don't want to leave empty-handed without gaining knowledge. I am very curious to know about the cryptocurrency world.But my brain is not able to handle technical issues (laptop, desktop, or computer programming issues related to crypto).

Most of the time, I read many posts on the technical board but only read those with zero results. Everything goes over my head because I don't understand anything about technical programming topics. And so I got frustrated and shared my problem with everyone. I believe that the solution to my problem will come from this community.

I should have mentioned my problems here earlier, but I was embarrassed about what everyone would think when they found out I don't have any technical stuff other than a phone, but I'm just walking down this street to learn about crypto.
I know it is very late, but I want everyone's help to guide me through the technical aspects of cryptocurrency from start to finish.

In my studies, I have only lightly learned about bitcoin, its history, blockchain, mining, nodes, wallet public keys, private keys, hashes, and blocks. I said it again, just lightly.I never heard a name before joining the forum, but my knowledge is very insignificant, not deep.

But most of the technical posts have more depth of programming, which I could not catch. I don't understand whether, without knowing about a laptop or desktop, I can be successful in understanding these things or not.

I don't know how much I was able to understand all of you or how much you all understood. If you can understand a little bit of my writing, then I hope you will see me as a newbie and please guide me properly by solving my problems without being ashamed.
6  Economy / Trading Discussion / Trading is not very easy; it took my friend a long time to understand. on: December 03, 2023, 05:41:49 PM
I have been watching my friend very closely; he was very impatient with trading. And this impermanence keeps him at a loss most of the time, which is really very frustrating and sad for him.
Because he spends his entire salary on trading, which over time earns him (supposedly 0.001) cents.
  Not that he didn't know much about trading, but his elusiveness was the reason for his remoteness.

Seeing my friend's behavior like this used to make me feel a lot of fear and annoyance towards trading or cryptocurrency.My reluctance to trade developed even though I had not started trading then. Again, I had no idea about crypto world.

But I made this mistake after joining the community. There are frequent posts about trading on the "Trading Discussion" board in the forum, which is indeed very useful.From here, I can learn how to be patient while trading, control my greed, not spend all my money on trading or cryptocurrencies, and start trading with money that I can't afford to lose.

Although I still have a lot to know and learn, I tried to teach and explain to my friend what I learned from here on how to be patient while keeping your greed in check in the world of cryptocurrency. and how important it is to be patient on this platform. But he avoided these words of mine with much mockery and showed reluctance, which greatly insulted and pained me.

But a few days ago, he came to me on his own to learn about cryptocurrency and trading, which was a complete surprise for me.What's even more surprising is that he is now a registered member of the community. And l also read several posts on the forum saying that he is now much better than before, patiently trying to work on crypto, which I'm really glad to hear.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / What can happen next time due to a lack of proper knowledge about Bitcoin? on: October 07, 2023, 09:57:03 AM
Well, don't you think if the whole world is dominated by cryptocurrency or bitcoin, then some people will face a huge problem?
  I have discovered some of the reasons for this. For example- 

1. When virtual currency or crypto-currency reigns all over the world, the banking system will be miserable, and a group of people (who do not know about crypto-currency or bitcoin) will be unemployed all over the world, who till now were working at the convenience of various banks.

2: Unemployed people (due to a lack of knowledge of currency requirements or benefits) will not be able to handle this shock in the first place, due to which they will face various financial, lateral, physical, and mental problems, which is a big challenge for them. 

3: Many developing or underdeveloped countries (especially those with low leverage) will consider cryptocurrency a curse rather than a blessing due to their lack of proper understanding of its importance.

4: I have seen among my acquaintances who still cannot fully trust the bank (banking is some kind of rigging or fraud) and therefore leave their valuable assets (gold or money) on their own instead of depositing them in the bank. For those who do not believe in banks, how exactly will they accept this currency system?

I might be wrong, and I don't know much about advanced technology, crypto, or bitcoin yet, so please don't take my questions negatively.
 In fact, all these questions have been created from the thoughts that I have presented here.
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Let's start the journey of working with Bitcoin by following the forum rules. on: September 28, 2023, 09:47:05 AM
After joining the community, I was confused by so many posts about Bitcoin. Where to start, where to end, which one to read first, which one to read quickly, etc. I lost interest in reading my posts. Just then, it occurred to me that it wouldn't be this way; I have to start from scratch, and to maintain the order and beauty of a place, I have to first obey the rules of that place. Only then can I propel myself to my next step. So I am starting to know the rules of the forum by reading the post at this link  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
Because nothing is above the rules. To keep the community clean, we (especially us newbies) need to follow the forum rules and posts. We have to slowly move forward in this journey of Bitcoin by following the rules of the forum community.We newbies hope you will surely benefit from the link post, like me.
Please correct me if there is any mistake in what I said.
9  Other / Beginners & Help / Investing with Bitcoin will be the most profitable project of life. on: September 20, 2023, 07:43:06 PM
Ever since I joined the forum community I have wasted no time learning about Bitcoin. I'm trying my best to learn something from every post and I've gained a bit more knowledge about Bitcoin than before.
Although Bitcoin is a vast area that is not easy to learn about, the more we learn, the more knowledge we gain.
     The most surprising thing I learned was that I was both really surprised and happy to know the past, present and future market value of Bitcoin.
When Satoshi Nakamoto launched this virtual currency (Bitcoin) in 2009, the market value of Bitcoin was zero. But in July 2010 itself
1BTC = $0.09
then
    1BTC=$68.790 in November 2021
Which is slowly rising and is currently there
    1 BTC = $27,194.58
(I am new, if there is any mistake in writing please correct it)
    The price has doubled. This means investing with Bitcoin will never count as a loss project. Bitcoin is our future profitable investment.And patiently we should spend more time behind Bitcoin.
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Belatedly come back with interest in Bitcoin. on: September 17, 2023, 05:16:39 PM
For several days, I have been hearing a lot of buzz about Bitcoin on various online platforms and social media. Although I had no idea about Bitcoin,  so I didn't bother with it.
But one day, suddenly, after learning about the importance of Bitcoin from my friends, I became very interested in Bitcoin.
That's why, from now on, I want to know and learn more about Bitcoin. Although it must be said that my interest was born quite late, I am still glad that it was not too late.
I hope I can learn more about Bitcoin from this community, and the community will help me learn it.
